Classical Music Social Media Anthropology 101
Welcome to Classical Music Social Media Anthropology 101. Please take out your syllabus and have a seat.We take a magnifying glass, and microscope, a thoughtful gaze and point it to the strange, silly, and occasionally harrowing landscape of opera singer Instagram. Do we create our internet content, or does our internet content create us? What will we find in our search for truth in the quagmire of the algorithm? Does the internet even matter? Does the internet even care? Much like opera, the internet is living, the internet is dying over and over and over forever.

To dead things and the mutable past
We dissect the idea of a fixed, unchanging past and futures colored by the deaths we experience through Handel arias, Lynch's death, Yuval Sharon's 'A New Philosophy of Opera', Nosferatu 2024, the anniversary of Perri's father's death, 'Die Wise' by Stephen Jenkinson, and the opera singer who sang at the inauguration.

Terrified to Announce: A Halloween SPECTACULAR
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! A few weeks ago we asked you guys to tell us all about your paranormal operatic experiences, and this episode is full of those stories!!! Haunted homestays, ghost cats who hate singing, vengeful on-stage spirits, prophetic pre-audition dreams, and MORE!! We’re all haunted by specters of singers past, possessed by them every time we steal ornaments from old recordings… this art form is a way of communicating w spirit; one hand holding onto the memory of all the beautiful shit we’ve made in the past, the other swimming through the murky waters of the present towards an uncharted, glimmering future...

Review Theories Pt. 2: an interview with critic and cool person Sylvia Korman
Sylvia's Don Giovanni review!! We are SO excited to share our convo with THEE Sylvia Korman!! They are an opera critic for Parterre Box, owner of @peoplemadatopera on twitter, and a phd student genius!! We followed Sylvia to the met’s production of don Giovanni like two little puppy dogs to get an inside look at the critic’s PROCESS: what are they thinking about when they sit down to watch a production they plan on reviewing? Do they take notes? Should a reviewer lean into The Dunk, or resist it with all their might? Are we all addicted to the dunk, or can we stomach sincerity and nuance? Should we ask that woman who had an org*sm at Tchaik V to come on the pod??? We discuss all of this and more on this, our most Sylvia-filled episode yet!

Meditations and Musings on Meaning at the Met Competition
Welcome to our MET COMPETITION EPISODE!!!! We snuck our gigantic microphones into the metropolitan opera HOUSE to chit chat with friends old and new, share our observations, and read poems to each other lol. We mediate on loss, growth, and bearing witness to joy. We had a lot of fun free associating, connecting our favorite thinkers and tarot card archetypes to our emotional landscapes. How can we incorporate thee fool into our self concepts???? How does the met exist within all of us, a looming and threatening and powerful dream? Is the met our shadow? Finally, We asked YOU GUYS what words and phrases you associate with the met competition and giggled about them. Love u!!
